Hi everyone,
I’m currently working as a developer in the Philippines and recently signed a contract with a company in Korea that’s willing to sponsor my E-7 visa.
Right now, I’m planning to resign from my current job once I receive some form of confirmation that my visa is actually being processed (like a visa issuance number). However, the company mentioned there’s a delay because their business address still needs to be registered (expected around April 29), and only after that will they start the E-7 visa process.
They’ve already collected my documents (passport copy, diploma, etc.), so I think things are moving—but I’m still a bit cautious.
My question is: what kind of proof or assurance should I reasonably ask from the company before resigning? Is the visa issuance number the right thing to wait for, or are there other documents or steps I should look out for to confirm the process is legit and ongoing?
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s gone through the E-7 visa process or something similar. Thanks!
